Baltimore is worse off morally and spiritually than it was a decade ago [Letter]

In 2000, Baltimore's gangs weren't as organized as we see them today. The anti-establishment they preach is a cancer to all the good works that are put into effect to help our people. Their mentally truly undermines unity of all people. I live in East Baltimore and grew up in Cherry Hill. What I see now is far more dangerous then what I came from. No, I don't believe we are better off — maybe financially but morally and spiritually we have a serious problem. If it's left undressed Baltimore will never be a place where one can feel safe and at home.
